Hassan Whiteside had a career game against the Clippers on Sunday. His 23 points and 16 rebounds – both new highs for the young player – helped the Miami Heat beat Los Angeles 104-90 to end a three-game road skid.

LeBron James singularly orchestrated the Big Three union. And now that he has opted out of his Miami Heat contract, he’s once again the Alpha Male of pro sports. Teams are scrambling to find the proper finances and expiring contracts, flipping over cushions for salary cap coin.

Miami HEAT forward LeBron James has been named to the NBA’s 2012-13 All-Defensive First Team. This marks the fifth time in James’ career that he has earned NBA All-Defensive First Team honors, all in consecutive seasons.

A basketball fan might think that a team with the Heat’s Big Three of Chris Bosh, LeBron James, and Dwyane Wade plus Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Garnett could put up enough points to secure a victory in the 2013 NBA All-Star Game.
